Heart disease clogs the cardiac arteries, making it very painful. The most common symptom is angina. Angina can be described as a discomfort, heaviness, pressure, aching, burning, fullness, squeezing or painful feeling in your chest. It can be mistaken for indigestion or heartburn. Angina is usually felt in the chest, but may also be felt in the shoulders, arms, neck, throat, jaw or back.
Some of the most common causes related to lifestyle are poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking, but stress and alcohol can also contribute to your risk. There are also several medical conditions that can increase your risk, including hypertension (high blood pressure), Diabetes, overweight/obesity, and high cholesterol. Heredity is important too - whether or not it runs in your family. Other factors - male gender, increasing age - increase your risk too. Visit www.americanheart.org for more information and tips to reduce your risks.
A combination of genes and bad lifestyle choices such as bad diets-lot's of saturated fats-and lack of movement and exercise.
